1. I wish I could answer this but I honestly forget about the whole French Revolution and I'm not great with history.
2. I am split on this a little. On one hand I believe it fits how nothing is fair in war but on the other hand I still feel like there should be some type of limit however I don't think that a limit is something that people would follow.
